In "The Rest of Your Life" Chris Kremidas-Courtney takes readers on a thrilling, thought-provoking journey into near-future worlds shaped by the choices we are making today. Each story in this collection of speculative fiction dives into a world where emerging technologies and corporate forces govern lives, control information, and challenge the core of human freedom. Praised by global experts as "thoughtful, prescient, and impactful," this collection doesn't just explore hypothetical futures but paints vivid portraits of what could very well be around the corner. With gripping and relatable stories, it serves as both a cautionary tale and a clarion call to action, asking readers to imagine a world beyond the algorithms and decide if it's a world we want to live in. "In a world where money has replaced morals, lies have replaced truth, billionaires have replaced public servants, sycophancy has replaced principle, corporations have replaced community, and technology has replaced simple human interaction, what are we to do? How are we to adapt and thrive, while still remaining true to ourselves? In this engaging collection of stories - covering human relationships strained by political division, Matrix-esque mind-control, page-turning political brinksmanship, and much more - Chris Kremidas-Courtney holds up a mirror to our individual and collective trauma in a world that's changing too fast, and reminds us that the choices we make today will, in infinite ways, determine how 'the rest of our lives' unfurl." - Michael M. Bowden, attorney and journalist; author, The Goddess and the Guru and Gifts from the Goddess "Fasten your seatbelts for science fiction with a twist. Each of these compelling stories could happen in the future... and some of them sooner than we think." >"Thoughtful, prescient and impactful." >"Tom Clancy meets John Grisham meets Alvin Toffler and George Orwell. We need to get ready for the rest of our lives. Chris Kremidas-Courtney's latest book provides needed glimpses into the not too distant future -- and in fact, the current "now" that many of us need help apprehending. These five prescient short stories are rich with relatable characters, riveting dialogue, and scenarios that offer deft insights into the looming near future. They are also mirrors we'd do well to gaze upon - even as such gazing may cause us to gasp and wince with the sober recognition of what we've collectively allowed and are complicit in. Buckle-up folks, there's turbulence ahead." - Roger Wolsey, author, Kissing Fish: Christianity for People Who Don't Like Christianity; and Discovering Fire: Spiritual Practices That Transform Lives "Compelling tales that offer profound insights into a future we must prepare for...a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and global affairs." >"A gripping and thought-provoking political thriller... a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersections of power, morality, and the uncertain future of global alliances." >"These stories bring potential futures to life in a creative, understandable and relatable way." - Miriam Fugfugosh, Global Executive Educator
